A 30 Day Devotional
Just before his untimely death, Dr. JC Chambers was working on his next book, amongst many other projects! He had a vision for a devotional that would be all about God's Grace. How God's grace completely transforms people.
True to his nature, JC wanted others to be involved to bring their unique perspective and experience with Grace into the book. And now, to honor JC, to honor Jesus and to celebrate the Stronghold Crew that still carries out his vision and mission, enjoy and apply these thoughts on Gods transforming Grace.

The Stronghold Difference
Stronghold was created in 1993 to offer Hope, the hope of real healing for those hurting in a broken world. Healing never takes place alone. Many times it is the result of deliberate, intentional, caring service from committed professionals with years of experience; professional counselors who have already helped hundreds in similar situations. This hope is the foundation of the Stronghold experience.
Hope Without Hype
Healing is never easy. There is no quick fix. It is often times painful. It does not happen overnight. But real, life-changing healing can and does happen regardless of what often may seem like a mountain of overwhelming circumstances. True, we don't know what you're going through. But at Stronghold, you'll never have to face it alone.
Guidance Without Judgement
Stronghold was founded on a philosophy of non-judgmental counseling. Before healing can happen, open communication must take place in a safe environment free of judgment. Stronghold provides a "judgment-free" zone where individuals and families can honestly open up, often for the first time without any fear of repercussions.
“Just a couple of things—
First, I appreciate that it was direct, clear, easy to understand—especially that you didn’t use a lot of psychological mumbo jumbo to impress us.
Because it was a simple, straightforward message, this is what I’m taking away from it:
Grace —> Truth—>Hope—>Good
It—healing— starts with grace that allows us to feel safe enough to seek the truth (with help), and when we realize that the truth didn’t kill us, we can grab on to hope that we really can get through this because we are not alone and dependent on only ourselves, that we WILL make it through the storm and there will be Good waiting there for us.
That’s a mighty powerful message.
Thanks for the book. I appreciate you putting your perspective out there”
